    • 22 Tweeting Tips - Tech Tuesday (2012/5/8)
      Listen. Twitter is a two-way communications tool. Whether you just click on the @ Connect button in Twitter or use a high-end social media management software like Radiant 6 , listening to what people are saying to or about you is important. A great tool that we use is social mention . Ask a question, start a dialogue . The best way to engage with your followers is to ask them a question. Plus, studies have shown that people are more likely to respond, share or click on the link of a social media post that is in the form of a question. The best way to get followed, is to follow other people/organizations; however, don't just follow everyone. Make sure they are relevant to what you are tweeting about and it's best not to follow more people than are following you. Social media is social. Re...

If not, Cathleen O’Connell has a story for you. In her latest documentary, Sousa on the Rez: Marching to the Beat of a Different Drum , O’Connell uncovers a musical tradition that has largely been forgotten in America--the Native American marching band. “I was fascinated that these bands existed, and have existed for so long,” she said. “It doesn’t fit neatly in this narrative that we all think we know about Native American life in the 19th, 20th and 21st c...
    • A Responsive Website: Responding to Feedback - Tech Tuesday (2012/5/1)
      In an earlier blog post I shared examples of resposive design found at the site Media Queries and encouraged people to incorporate responsive design in their site's redesign, but I found that people were asking, "That's great but how do I make my site responsive?" Many non-profits will use WordPress or Drupal as an out of the box cheap DIY method for building their site, so I wanted to include a few themes for the two platforms that use responsive design. Some examples of themes for Drupal that use responsive design: Zen Doune Sky Omega Some examples of themes for WordPress that use responsive design: Responsive Oxygen iFeature Reveal If you are really DIY, here is a great tutorial from net.tutsplus.com

    • Uranium in the Drinking Water? (2012/4/26)
      In an article by Matt Goodlett of Omaha, Neb.'s The Reader , the question is raised of "What is Uranium Mining in Nebraska Doing to Pine Ridge's Drinking Water?" Elisha Yellow Thunder and her daughter Laila Pettigrew have a very personal reason for their research into the mining contamination. Laila was born with a number of medical anomalies--a cystic kidney, partially developed organs and a deformity in her lower spine. She also has catheter tubing located near her collarbone that is used for her kidney dialysis treatments three days a week. As the article states, when Elisha was pregnant with Laila, she was living in Loneman, SD, near Oglala--a hotspot for uranium contamination. Elisha began to suspect that the birth defects were due to drinking the contaminated water. Documentary film...
    • The Role Online Schooling Plays in Education for Native American Students (2012/4/26)
      Native Americans face a unique set of challenges, as Native populations strive to maintain their history, traditions and cultural identity while keeping pace with developments in the country around them. With Native Americans historically ill-served by the traditional education system, new initiatives hope to leverage the flexibility of online colleges and universities , as well as other virtual education programs, to make the difference. In 1992, a Northern Arizona University study found that American Indian and Alaska Native students had a 30% chance of dropping out before completing high school, both on reservations and in cities. That’s about double the national average, and the gap has proven stubbornly difficult to bridge. Part of the problem is that Native populations are kept so...
    • But I Need a Mobile Site Right Now - Tech Tuesday (2012/4/24)
      Okay, in my last blog post I said "Build for mobile first" when redesigning your site; however, some people can't wait for their next redesign and for that I have a solution that I came across at the Google for Non-Profits Pre-Conference at the Non-Profit Technology Conference . Best of all, it's cheap, easy and free. It's the mobilize project from Google Sites -- sites.google.com/mobilize . If you go this route, a few tips: This is a separate site from your main site and should be designed with that in mind. Think about what people go to your site to do when accessing it on the go. Don't know what your mobile traffic is doing on your site, Google Analytics now has a mobile report to split out what mobile visitors do when they come to your site . Since this is a separate site, you will ha...
    • A Donated Buffalo -- Thank you Ponca Tribe of Nebraska! (2012/4/19)
      Recently, I was asked to help plan the cultural event for the National Congress of American Indians’ (NCAI) Annual Mid-Year Conference and Marketplace, June 17-20 in Lincoln, Neb.—NAPT’s hometown. It’s been a very exciting experience and I look forward to meeting all of the conference attendees. More importantly though, it is a chance for the community to engage with Tribal leaders and representatives from across the U.S. As many of you already know and recall from the documentary film Good Meat , presented by NAPT , buffalo meat is not only a traditional food way, but it is very healthy—and sadly, hard to come by in many areas. At the June 17 cultural event, we’re planning to have a feast and a traditional powwow. Chairwoman Rebecca White of the Ponca Tribe of Nebraska also s...
    • 13 Tips to Make Redesigning Your Website Less Scary - Tech Tuesday (2012/4/17)
      Design for Mobile First. This is a good idea not only because more and more people are accessing the web from mobile devices, but it will also force you to pare down your site to its core essential functions. Create a Site that Uses Responsive Design. No one can make a single site that looks good on a 27" monitor and a handheld phone, so set up your site so that it changes depending on how it is being viewed. Good examples of responsive design can be found at mediaqueri.es . Move to a CMS (Content Management System). Here are a few open source ones Content Management Systems, that we've either had a good experience with or have heard good things about: WordPress , Drupal and Joomla . WordPress and Drupal also have options that will host your content so you don't have to set-up your own se...

    • The Digital Divide Hits Home - Tech Tuesday (2012/4/10)
      In March, I was on a panel at SXSW called "Popping Your Bubble: Stories of the Digital Divide ." Working with technology and culture in Indian Country, I have seen how the lack of Internet access can be a roadblock for people to share or even get information about their culture. Because of this reason, I am so passionate about doing what I can to help bridge the Digital Divide. The panel went well. I was happy to see so many journalists attend and have their eyes opened to the problem that still exists today, especially in rural areas. There were a lot of tweets about the issue during the event and a couple of articles were even written as a result. It was after SXSW, as I was putting together a recap of the panel , when the subject came full circle. I got a call from my father, he was ha...

      With broad expanses of open marshes, cypress trees along much of its shoreline, and a diversity of fish species choose from, the Chickahominy River provides the angler with tidal river fishing at its finest.
